Well I finnaly mustered up the corrage to ask my boss if I could detect his dirt floor basement of his house wich was built in 1779. He said sure no problem..PPPHHHEEEWWW that wasnt hard. So I went today and did the whole this from one way and then the other to make sure I got everything. The basement was huge. There was stuff everywhere. Most things where only a half of inche to 3 inches deep. I found all this silver. Notice the color diffrence between the standing liberty quarters and the washington quarters. i also found a ton of matchbox cars over 30 wheat cents a small silver star charm 3 buttons and a ton of trash.. Man what a hunt. I also got video of the whole hunt. Once I slim it down I will post it..Just couldnt wait to share this.

I will definitly be going back again.

I'd hope so, you just blew my best silver day out of the water :notworthy: .. that is incredible.. like a couple others have said, I would sift that dirt down there and spend a lot of time. There are obviously many many more coins down there and the house being that old there should be some oldies. Look forward to seeing how the next hunt goes :icon_thumleft:

Very nice work with the silvers!! I totally agree with Plehbah, there has to be a good many nickels left there. Maybe even a key date Buffalo. Good luck on your next trip!
